A bureau surmounted by a mirror-glazed cabinet, with related mulberry neneer amd richly-engraved mounts, is attributed to the St.Paul's Churchyard firm of G.Coxed and T.Woster (fl.1700-1736). Their trade label included Buro's Chests of Drawers, as well as 'Cabinets, Scrutoires, Desks and Bookcases' as part of their stock (see: Sir Ambrose Heal, London Furniture Makers, London, 1953, fig.13)
